Hey, ...Hi there, Carissa! Thanks for the comment! <br /><br />Hey, being short has a few advantages. For instance, you don't have to constantly worry about hitting your head on doorframes. ;0)<br /><br />-Kyle<br />The Bowes Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724068401619936674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-32065678408531277622013-12-16T17:51:55.663-08:002013-12-16T17:51:55.663-08:00Hey!

I really enjoyed reading this post!<br /><br />I don't hold my pencil or fork right either. <br /><br />Here's some little weird things about myself ;-)<br />1. I absolutely cannot have my socks on when I go to bed and I absolutely cannot have any covers on when I go to bed! I have to sleep completely uncovered!<br />2. I'm extremely picky! <br />3. I'm really short...5'1"... :(<br />4.

You sound a lot like me.
I totally...Right on, bro! You sound a lot like me.<br /><br />I totally can see your competitiveness after playing on the same Ultimate Frisbeee team with you. (we made a pretty epic team, me thinks) Of course, you were not the guy to steamroll Kevin V. to try and make that one catch. . . . That was embarrassing. <br /><br />I agree with you as far as slamming Ping-Pong balls go. That's why I have perfected my "slam" move. If you are ever on the other side of a Ping-Pong table from me, be warned: I will slam a ball really hard, and it *will* hit the table. Good luck returning it. (Cue the Muhaha evil laugh) ;0)<br /><br />Hey, I'm left-handed too! Okay, only when I am throwing a Frisbee. Don't ask why, because I don't know.<br /><br />Here's a suggestion: just ignore the blueberries all together! (Nasty little things!)<br /><br />(shuffles feet) I can't whistle either.<br /><br /><br />Thanks for the comment, Jordan!<br /><br />-KyleKyle Boweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10245496263961033458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-22070606614440922082013-12-13T18:18:07.604-08:002013-12-13T18:18:07.604-08:00I'm with you on #1, bro!

Why oh why does it always have to look like a bakery underneath them?!?! lol<br /><br />Okay... Let me think...<br /><br />Well, I'm with you on the REALLY competitive thing. Except that I'm really awful at ping pong because I'm too competitive and wham the ball way too hard so I'm always out after one round of round robin!<br /><br />Okay... I can't whistle. Repeat, CAN'T whistle! It's always been that way and I guess I'll never get the technique right!<br /><br />I'm left handed... But that's not a quirk, that a divinely bestowed blessing of God! ;) (Actually, it's awesome to be LHanded. For one thing, if you're right-handed, you never get mentioned!)<br /><br />I'm not into reptiles... At all!<br /><br />I'm not into dissections.. No thanks! (There's a story behind this one!)<br /><br />I'm a really high energy person... So I move around a lot and everyone notices. <br /><br />I'm not into awkward.... Unless I'm the one to say "awkward!"<br /><br />I'm not always to be trusted to say something really serious. And if it is seriously important, it comes out funny!<br /><br />I talk... a lot.<br /><br />I like yogurt with blueberries, but hate blueberry yogurt. (Once again, there's a story)<br /><br />I'm a perpetual movie line quoter!<br /><br />And..... I can't think of anything really weird right now, but maybe i'll do a post like this on my blog sometime!<br /><br /><br /> Jordan Stranghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827590018025958700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-32547587703473147852013-12-13T08:18:31.513-08:002013-12-13T08:18:31.513-08:00Ha ha!

There are some really big spiders trying to eat the main characters in the movie. :0)<br /><br />Squash? But what about pumpkin pie? I personally think blueberries were an affect of the curse, but that's just me. <br /><br />Sorry. I promise I will only steal one more half inch from you. :0) What will that make you, 6'0.5"?

...I, MELVIN ZWICK, do not have any quirky traits. <br /><br />But Grandpa has a few. <br /><br />1. Spiders. He does not like spiders. When he was a little kid (yes he was once a kid) his mom woke him up by frantically yelling at him to get out of bed. He groggily jumped up and looked around and found a monster tarantula spider in the bed he just left. Even as an adult he has to every now and then wake and shine a flashlight all around the bed to insure that tarantula had not returned.<br /><br />2. Like Kyle he sometimes sleeps in his clothes. But he always has to have his socks on. Don’t like cold feet.<br /><br />3. A day without playing his guitar is just not a day.<br /><br />4. He follows the cat owner rule that you never get up when a kitty is in your lap. It seems that Pepe always manages to get into grandpa’s lap about the time he needs to visit the restroom. Poor old Grandpa does a lot of wiggling until Pepe decides to get down. Grandpa sometimes convinces Grandma to get up and rattle the cat food cabinet door. Pepe never misses the opportunity to eat food.<br /><br />5. Poor Grandpa in a victim of the old Polish edict that says that “A Grandpa must give up his height to his first born Grandson.” Grandpa who was once 6’3” is now down to 6’1” and Kyle is still wanting to grow another half inch. Poor old Grandpa.<br /><br />6. Grandpa always eats the food he dislikes first. That way vegetables are always first off his plate.<br /><br />7. Grandpa has eaten just about everything that is edible except squash. Squash should never have existed as far as Grandpa is concerned.<br /><br />I, MELVIN ZWICK, could probably go on but I think this is enough of exposing Grandpa for now.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11866164208006678301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-47979633529529367382013-12-12T21:37:39.880-08:002013-12-12T21:37:39.880-08:00Oh, and sleeping in clothes comes in handy.

A...Latte? What Latte? (I told you I would deny it)<br /><br />Ahem, Thirteen. I barely took one sip, though, and would have completely denied the whole episode if it wasn't for the fact that I had whipped cream on my upper lip. The mom (who saw me nonchalantly handling her beverage as she went round and round) was hopping mad. I am pretty sure I ruined her day (not to mention her latte).<br /><br />I hope this doesn't offend, but you sound a lot like my little brothers as far as the helicopters go. ;0) Thanks for sharing your quirks!<br /><br />-KyleThe Bowes Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08724068401619936674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-907511360038339184.post-58425032993976704032013-12-12T21:29:00.601-08:002013-12-12T21:29:00.601-08:00Yep.

That sounds horribly uncomfortable! However. I completely agree with the no sock thing. I literally JUST told my dad I can't sleep with socks on, no matter how cold I am.<br /><br />I also laugh at pretty much anything! Or I guess you could say, nothing. :) It's kind of embarrassing sometimes.<br /><br />When I get less than four hours of sleep at night, I act like I'm drunk.... That's REALLY embarrassing... I will actually walk into walls....<br /><br />I swore once when I was eight. My parents gave me a good talking to. I haven't done it since. <br /><br />I'm 5'1" and would love it if I could add a half inch. I often have to look up at my friends when I talk to them. (Notice I said "Look up at." not "Look up to") ;)<br /><br />One time I walked up to a car at Lowes thinking it was ours and started jiggling all the door handles.A few minutes later I noticed the cleanliness and the pack of gum on the seat and realized it wasn't our car. To this day I still hope no one was watching me.<br /><br />Helicopters make me drool. :) :) :) If one flies by I will jump up and down and wave my arms around.<br /><br />I'm terrified of bridges. Actually, I'm terrified of them collapsing, or our car crashing through the guard rail.<br /><br />I have a tendency to be sarcastic, and people often think I'm serious. Yeah, that's gotten me into a few scrapes.<br /><br />I enjoyed this post Kyle!

I have never learned to hold my pencil correctly, but I get along just fine in life without proper grip techniques. ;) In fact, one time I wrote something down for a pastor and he told me, "You have very nice writing for a girl who doesn't hold her pencil correctly!"<br />That was a very fun list to read. :D I found it amusing enough to read it out loud to the rest of the family in the room. And if I did that... it was amusing. :P<br />I did something very similar on my blog, so I'll save myself the trouble of a lengthy comment by including the link:<br />http://betstidbits.blogspot.com/2013/11/10-random-facts.htmlBethany https://www.blogger.com/profile/12938480991877590718noreply@blogger.com
